"One`s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things"

About this sitter

I would describe myself as highly committed to anything I am involved in. I am very responsible and conscientious. I thrive on new adventures, meeting new people, learning everything that is new or different. I am open minded, kind and strict at the same time.
What I look for in a housesit is something I feel 100% certain about; certain that I can go above and beyond what the homeowner needs and expects. I look for a place I have not been before as new scenery and people are such a breath of fresh air for me :) I look for a place I know I can feel comfortable in; the home and its surroundings.

Why they want to house sit

I want to house sit because I can treat myself to something new and be useful to someone at the same time-for me, the perfect combination!
I want to house sit because I am very good at this kind of thing. Why? Because I know what it is to leave a home behind and to worry. I can help to alleviate this worry because as I mentioned before, I am very responsible, annoyingly so, and a perfectionist...annoyingly so. And I am a very detail oriented person, so you would never have to worry about me forgetting something.

Their experience

I have owned several homes of my own and know what it takes to keep a home in great working order-inside and out.
My experience is such that I have watched over friends and families homes, pets, grounds, in the past-as they have done for me. Since living away from my home-the U.S.- I have not had the opportunity to housesit for anyone as I have not had the time, nor found the need.

What can they bring to the assignment

What I can bring to an assignment is a sense of pride I feel at performing a job, or anything for that matter, in such a way that I will leave the assignment (the home, grounds, pets...anything I come across) in exactly the same state, or better. So when the homeowner walks back through the door, they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief..and realize very quickly that everything was done to perfection.
My experience in the military (10 years) and that of being a single parent (12 years) to two fabulous children-now amazing adults-tested me constantly and I never failed...too badly anyways.. I have never been in a situation I wasn't able to think my way out of. I have a great deal of respect for my ability to rationalize and behave calmly.
In other words, my life experiences have more than made up for my inexperience in actual housesits.
